HCC Kicks Butt!

As of August 13, 2012, Holyoke Community College is entirely smoke free. Smoking is no longer allowed anywhere on campus. In this effort, HCC joins hundreds of other colleges and universities around the country that have also gone smoke free. Please join us in this campaign as we raise awareness about the health benefits to everyone of having a smoke-free campus.
